  Children's Rights - A Global...

  Children represent the future of our societies, yet they remain among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations worldwide. The protection of children's rights has become one of the most critical global issues in the 21st century, demanding urgent attention and action. While significant progress has been made in raising awareness of children's rights, millions of children still suffer from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and deprivation. This complex and multifaceted issue requires an in-depth understanding of the challenges children face, as well as the actions needed to safeguard their well-being. 
    
  At the core of children's rights is the belief that every child, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or economic background, deserves to grow up in an environment where they can thrive. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, set the stage for international human rights legislation, but it was the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), adopted in 1989, that provided a comprehensive framework for child protection. This treaty, ratified by nearly every nation, outlines civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights for children, recognizing their right to life, education, protection from violence, and participation in the decisions that affect their lives. 
    
  However, despite these legal frameworks, violations of children's rights continue at an alarming rate. Poverty, armed conflict, lack of access to education, child labor, and human trafficking are among the many issues that continue to affect children around the world. These issues often intersect and exacerbate one another, creating a cycle of vulnerability that is difficult to break. It is essential that global efforts to protect children are strengthened, and that all sectors of society—from governments to NGOs to the private sector—work together to ensure the full realization of children's rights.

  "Barghouti is the future. He is intelligent, empowered, and non-violent. He is completely impressive. It would help Americans to see such a picture of Palestinian political engagement, when they have such a distorted image of who Palestinians are. Some day they will know him." —Phillip Weiss, author of Mondoweiss: The War of Ideas in the Middle East 
   
   
   
  THIRTY YEARS ago, an international movement utilizing boycott, divestment, and sanction (BDS) tactics rose in solidarity with those suffering under the brutal apartheid regime of South Africa. The historic acts of BDS activists from around the world isolated South Africa as a pariah state and heralded the end of apartheid. 
   
   
   
  Now, as awareness of the apartheid nature of the State of Israel continues to grow, Omar Barghouti, founding member of the Palestinian Civil Society Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, presents a renewed call to action. Aimed at forcing the State of Israel to uphold international law and universal human rights for the Palestinian people, here is a manifesto for change.

  The Communist Manifesto

  Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels

  The Communist Manifesto, originally the Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei), is an 1848 political document by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London just as the Revolutions of 1848 began to erupt, the Manifesto was later recognised as one of the world's most influential political documents. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and then-present) and the conflicts of capitalism and the capitalist mode of production, rather than a prediction of communism's potential future forms.The Communist Manifesto summarises Marx and Engels' theories concerning the nature of society and politics, namely that in their own words "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism. In the last paragraph of the Manifesto, the authors call for a "forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions", which served as a call for communist revolutions around the world. In 2013, The Communist Manifesto was registered to UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme along with Marx's Capital, Volume I.

  Blowing up Ukraine - The Return...

  Presciently researched before the invasion of Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine is the first comprehensive investigation into the lethal methods Russia has used since 1999 to take over Ukraine – culminating in full-blown unprovoked war in 2022 and mounting atrocities. In this chilling, riveting and alarming narrative the authors cite ample evidence, draw historical analogies, and marshal sources that are new, little known, or anonymous by necessity.Over twenty years, Vladimir Putin skilfully manipulated Ukraine's self-serving politicians and oligarchs, only to be thwarted time and again by peaceful revolutions of ordinary Ukrainians – the Maidan – against government corruption and being pushed into Russia's arms. As Putin became obsessed with conquering Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine shows how the Kremlin has become a threat to global stability and Ukraine is almost certain to be the first battleground of World War III if the West is not careful to take a stance
